The facility failed to monitor Resident #1 after the change in condition was noted and used a non-emergency ambulance service, which resulted in a delay in her receiving emergency care until after 1:13 p.m., approximately one hour and 51 minutes after her initial change in condition. Resident #1 was noted to have a blood glucose level of 44 upon arrival to the hospital and was treated for Hypoglycemia (a condition in which the body's blood sugar level goes below the standard range). An Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) was identified on 08/14/25 at 5:35 p.m. The IJ template was provided to the facility on [DATE] at 5:35 p.m. While the IJ was removed on 08/16/25, the facility remained out of compliance at a scope of isolated with a severity level of the potential for more than minimal harm that is not immediate jeopardy, due to the facility's need to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrective systems. These failures placed residents who had a change in condition at risk of prolonged pain, worsening of condition, prolonged recovery, and possible death. Findings included: Record review of Resident #1's face sheet dated 08/12/25 revealed a Resident #1 was a [AGE] year-old female admitted to the NF on 06/03/25 and readmitted on [DATE].

Record review of Resident #1's Initial MDS assessment dated [DATE] revealed a BIMS score of 07, which indicated severe cognitive impairment. Section GG of the MDS revealed the resident used a wheelchair and walker for mobility devices. The resident required supervision or touching assistance (helper provides verbal cues and/or touching/steading and/or contact guard assistance as resident completes activity, Assistance may be provided throughout the activity or intermittently) for eating, oral and personal hygiene. The resident requires partial/moderate assistance (helper does less than half the effort.

Goal: The resident will Residents Affected - Few (continued on next page) Any deficiency statement ending with an asterisk (*) denotes a deficiency which the institution may be excused from correcting providing it is determined that other safeguards provide sufficient protection to the patients. (See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided.
